Examples
● Volk und Rasse
• “In the context of Nazi Germany, Volk is almost always
translated as ‘race’ because of the clear intent behind Nazi
policy and Hitler’s own obsession with racial purity and
pollution.”
• Rasse and Volk were not interchangable in Nazi Germany
• völkish translates accurately as “ethnic”
• “race” was so empirically defined, even the most zealous Nazis could
not accurately describe it.
